In these challenging times we would like to make families aware of an increase to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). If families already get SNAP benefits, additional funding will be sent to the benefit card.
Any family NOT already receiving SNAP, but qualifying for the school Free and Reduced lunch program will be mailed a card that will be able to be used in the same way. There will be payments for March and April, and another for May and June.
The funding stream is not from DSS, rather from the Office of Temporary Disability Services. Families will not have to apply separately for this benefit.

Dear Lawrence Families,
We all share great pride in our students. To acknowledge the success of the class of 2020, please consider taking part in a Long Island wide event. You can do this by flickering your house lights and making noise (banging pots and pans) at your door for 20 minutes beginning at 8:20 p.m. tonight. (20:20 military time) . May 1st is Senior commitment day, when college acceptances are due and we want our seniors to know they have the support of our community.
Stay socially distant but show your emotional connection to these fine students.

One of many teaching bright spots to brighten up a rainy April Day, Lawrence Learns!
Lawrence is so proud of our teachers, students and families. The mission statement in Lawrence includes a statement to “prepare learners for life’s challenges”. Our learners are well prepared and taught well under caring staff. This image is of a 5th Grade Class with 100% attendance in a LIVE Class . With a new remote schedule, students finish each live class daily with some math “brain work.” All 25 students worked on “4nums.com.” Students eagerly come up with different equations to reach a solution and share. They problem solve together too if needed!
Dear Lawrence Families, The Governor has announced that school will be closed until at least May 15th. Please stay connected with your teachers and our social emotional support teams during this period of “NY Pause”. Following social distancing guidelines remains our shared responsibility . We are proud of our students for their academic work ethic and for handling the tremendous emotional pressure of this crisis. Reach out for support, be strong and be well Thank you.
Dr Pedersen
